It's a pretty stupid bug to ship with, I'd easily call it a showstopper.

Unless I'm seeing some leftovers from the beta/rc, I think the default theme still ships with a nearly impossible to grab window border, which is somewhat infuriating.

Yeah, I thought everyone was still all hot for yaml.

Fair point, I tend to think of typing things into the XBox or the wireless keyboard on my HTPC (which annoys me whenever I have to use it), but I've used Tivo search before and it's not bad.

It's a bit argumentative to assume it's FUD and not an honest mistake or a change in the Adobe Reader 9 installation process.

I have a very hard time seeing anything that requires a keyboard as being any kind of success outside of the techie community. Typing on a TV screen sucks, it sucks a lot.

I have clients ask for videos that work on the iPad and iPhone, I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I've used this maybe once or twice. Granted, I'd have been pretty annoyed if I tried to do it and discovered I couldn't, but it would have had fairly minimal impact after the initial indignation wore off.

To makers, Android isn't a competitor to the iPhone, its the base upon which you build that competitor.

Are you choosing to ignore iPhone/iPad/OSX or is there something I'm missing?

Apparently user programs aren't that important.

I think my favorite departure comes from Half Baked: "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, and fuck you, I'm out!" That said, you can keep an account without ever visiting the site, for those not-that-close friends.

Odd, I regularly see complaints here on HN of this or that not working, and the response seems to often be that you have to pay attention to what hardware you buy and you can't expect everything to work... often with a snarky comment about

Team Fortress 2 has offered absolutely stunning value to the buyer over the past two years. Paying $15+ for DLC for the Call of Duty, GTA and Battlefield games is an absolute joke compared to the massive improvements that have come to Team

Wrong on just the alpha channel or all of it?

How do you know it wouldn't be better and more successful if it was a Valve product?

Can you expand on your Atlassian comment? I'd like to know more about them.

Great tip. Unfortunately I lost the Apple earbuds on a trip to Seattle last month.

I do not recommend the Apple in-ear ones. I got a pair of $15 in-ear headphones that sound much, much beter (compared to the $70 for the Apple set). The Apple pair sounded tinny, which for the price really isn't worth it. Now to find ones

Can't help but think of: Your shower shoes have fungus on them. You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes. Think classy, you'll be classy. If you win 20 in the show, you can let the fungus grow back and the press'll

I go for having a settings module which imports different things depending on what's available. For example, you can define host-specific settings based on hostname for different production servers (or production, staging, QA, etc), or jus

It's a great reason to sing their praise and encourage them to do more of the same. I don't see why it wouldn't be. edit: but no reason not to give them shit for anything bad they do, of course.

You forgot "Yay Apple for allowing it on OSX" Also, can't wait to use VLC on Windows Phone 7!

I think the point is that if Google is as Open as they say they are then you shouldn't need to create your own app store.

Everyone says this but there was so much more going on I think it's a bit silly to pretend that "open v closed" is a safe way to summarize "Microsoft v Apple" in the 80's/90's.
